The Shelbyville Kentucky newspaper, The Sentinel-News had an article today about the Simpsonville Kentucky annexation of land near I-64. It is apparently drawing out protesters and critics - and the mayor of Simpsonville KY Steve Eden is firing back.
The mayor states that the entire Simponsville City Commission desires for heavy vehicles and equipment to be on the property - and that he only desires to see businesses that would benefit a traveling public.
But, this hasn’t satisfied many persons. Protesters have been passing out flyers and organizing a protest for the vote on Wednesday. They are under the opinion that some sort of agreement has been made without the public’s knowledge or consent with Redline Properties (the current owner of the property on I-64), and that heavy equipment will end up being stored on a part of the 42 acres site.
Redline Properties was denied a zoning request for heavy equipment storage and dealership in July by the Triple S Planning and Zoning Commission.
The protesters have demanded a delay on a vote so that the people in Simpsonville KY and Shelby County can make arrangements to attend and voice their concerns.
